To all, loll/whiz may oncern:

lie it known that I. EDWARD Know BOT- 'ruc. a citizen of the lnited States, residingat llhnira. in the county of ,Chemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and i-iseful Improvements in Manifolding Saeslhmks.of which the following is a -erative position.

full. clear. and exact. description, such as In the aceompanymgalrawing, wherein is shown one of variouspossible embod ments of this inventionralf gure 1 is a diagranr matic perspective viewof a salesbook in opwith certain parts torn awavz-and 1 i1. 2 's a central transverse sectional view. Fig. 3-3 is a longitudina section of o'neof my salesbooks.

Similar reference characters refer to simi-- lar parts throughout the different views of the drawing.

Referringnow in detail to the drawin and more particularly to Fig. 1. there is denoted at 1 a back of cardboard or other suitable stiff material whereby the book may be used separately or mounted in a holder ofany convenient style. as desired. On this back are mounted a plurality of sets of original and triplicate leaves 2 and 3. re-

spectively, bound together along one ,end edge by means of staples -l to the back 1. Both the original each set are separated from the stub 5 by lines of perforations 6, whereby they may be easily and quickly detached therefrom. It is, of course. to

' leaves may also be suitably ruled and spaced.

to which the book is to be put.

Secured to the lower end or free edge 71of rigina-l leaf 2 is a thin semi-transparent duplicate leaf -8 of tissue. or parchment. This leafin size is substantially equal to the-body 'portio-nof' the other leaves; that is. it terminates just shortof the stub 5. or adjacent the line of perforations; y 4 v Secured to the upper surface and along one of the side edges of the back 1 is a Mamrozcmnc SALES-BOOK.

beneath.- and also to the under side of the tissue leaf 8 by means of its upper carbon surface. The tissue-leaf heingsemi-trans parent. of course. enables the. inscription to he read therethrough. By mounting the carbon sheet in this manner. it always completely covers the original leaf. and as the pad becomes reduced iii thickness it will" tend to creep toward theright side of the hook. as shown in Fig". 1. therehy completely covering the usual cents column. as well as providin", to a certain extent. a. fresh me for thiscolumn.

Having described the construction of one emhodiment'of the invention. a convenient method of operating the same is substantially as follows: Assume the hook to he in the position shown in Fig. 1. the inscription is made-upon btll uppersurface of the origi nalleaf 2 which is reproduced in duplicate and triplicate upon the respective leaves; as above set. forth. The original and tissue sheet Elremoved' from above the duplicate leaf. whereupon the rei'i iaining leaf may be detached n a sim lar manner.- The next original leaf with the tissue leaf attached posed of according to therules of the estal lislnnent.

It is thus seen that this invention provides a simple and p racticaltriplicate sales hook in any desired manner. accordingt'o the use adapted to accomplish. amongothers. all.

e of the ohjects and advantages 'ahove set t-ri'plicatesheet. and a double faced carbon sheet between the latter twcshects; one edge.

thereto is swung upwardlyand the carbon I 0f the original sheet being (letnchahly secured t0 the stub portion, and the opposite edge thereof being attached to the tissue sheet, on edge of the triplicate sheet being, also secured to the stub.

A nmnifolding sales hook comprising :1 bank. :1 stlll) portioln an original sheet upon which entries are to he made. :1 ti. ne sheet 111,011 the back of whieh said entries are duplicated, :1 third sheet upon which they are trig'illezited. and double-faced ezu'lion sheet disposed between the tissue sheet and the triplicate; the original heet having one end thereof detnchnhly secured to the stub portion, tl1e triplicate sheet being also so se- 15 cured, and the tisgue sheet being secured at one end to the unbound end of one of the other sheets.

In testimony whereof I :iflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
